Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases. In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours, and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store. In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server. Actors are written with capital "A". ## How to integrate an Actor? If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects. You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready. The best way to integrate Actors is as follows. In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md): ```bash npm install apify-client ``` In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md): ```bash pip install apify-client ``` In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): ````bash # MacOS / Linux curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash # Windows irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex ```bash In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md). If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md). For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below. For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt). # README ## Domain Intelligence (RDAP and DNS) Bulk domain lookups over official RDAP registry data plus live DNS records. Registrar, dates, status, nameservers, DNSSEC, and A, MX, NS, TXT records. ### What it does - Resolves each TLD's official RDAP server from the IANA bootstrap file, then queries the registry directly. No WHOIS scraping, no API key. - Returns registrar, creation, expiration, and last-changed dates, EPP status codes, nameservers, and DNSSEC delegation. - Detects unregistered domains: a registry 404 is reported as `registered: false` (likely available). - Optionally resolves live A, AAAA, MX, NS, and TXT records via DNS over HTTPS. - Accepts full URLs as input and normalizes them to bare domains. ### Input | Field | Type | Description | |---|---|---| | `domains` | array | Domains to look up. Full URLs are accepted and normalized (scheme and path stripped). | | `includeDns` | boolean | Also resolve live A, AAAA, MX, NS, and TXT records. Default `true`. | Example: ```json { "domains": ["openai.com", "anthropic.com", "some-candidate-name.com"], "includeDns": true } ```` ### Output One dataset item per domain: ```json { "domain": "openai.com", "tld": "com", "registered": true, "rdapServer": "https://rdap.verisign.com/com/v1", "registrar": "MarkMonitor Inc.", "createdDate": "2007-01-19T19:28:24Z", "expiresDate": "2029-01-19T19:28:24Z", "updatedDate": "2024-10-17T22:20:04Z", "status": ["client delete prohibited", "client transfer prohibited", "client update prohibited", "server delete prohibited", "server transfer prohibited", "server update prohibited"], "nameservers": ["ns1-02.azure-dns.com", "ns2-02.azure-dns.net", "ns3-02.azure-dns.org", "ns4-02.azure-dns.info"], "dnssec": false, "dns": { "a": ["104.18.33.45", "172.64.154.211"], "aaaa": [], "mx": ["1 aspmx.l.google.com.", "5 alt1.aspmx.l.google.com."], "ns": ["ns1-02.azure-dns.com.", "ns2-02.azure-dns.net."], "txt": ["v=spf1 include:_spf.google.com -all"] }, "note": null } ``` For an unregistered domain, `registered` is `false` and `note` explains it. If a TLD has no RDAP server, the RDAP fields stay null, `note` says so, and DNS records are still resolved. The run's `OUTPUT` key-value record holds an aggregate: how many domains were looked up, how many are registered, not registered, or unknown. ### Pricing Pay per result plus Apify platform usage. ### Data source Registration data comes from the official RDAP servers of each registry, discovered through the IANA bootstrap file (data.iana.org/rdap/dns.json). DNS records come from Google Public DNS over HTTPS (dns.google). The Actor waits 300 ms between domains and retries rate limits with backoff. Some ccTLDs do not operate an RDAP server; those return DNS data only. # Actor input Schema ## `domains` (type: `array`): Domains to look up, one per line. Full URLs are accepted, the scheme and path are stripped automatically (for example "https://openai.com/pricing" becomes "openai.com"). ## `includeDns` (type: `boolean`): Also resolve live A, AAAA, MX, NS, and TXT records for each domain via DNS over HTTPS. Turn off for registration data only. ## Actor input object example ```json { "domains": [ "openai.com", "anthropic.com" ], "includeDns": true } ``` # API You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup. ## JavaScript example ```javascript import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client'; // Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token // Replace the '' with your token const client = new ApifyClient({ token: '', }); // Prepare Actor input const input = { "domains": [ "openai.com", "anthropic.com" ] }; // Run the Actor and wait for it to finish const run = await client.actor("agentictools/domain-intelligence").call(input); // Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any) console.log('Results from dataset'); console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`); const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems(); items.forEach((item) => { console.dir(item); }); // 📚 Want to learn more 📖?
